The research focuses on the problem of humor in Ukrainian political discourse, which is interpreted as a manifestation of human activity. The peculiarities of the combination of political and game discourses in Ukrainian political communication were clarified, which resulted in the active use of humorous components in the speeches of politicians. Linguistic means of expression of humor in posts on social networks and speeches of Ukrainian politicians are analyzed. The purpose of our study is to investigate linguistic means of humor representation as the main manifestation of comic relief in Ukrainian political discourse. The purpose was to solve the following tasks: to outline the concept of political discourse in terms of the game concept of communicative activity; to analyze political genres in the speech of Ukrainian politicians; identify the linguistic features of political trolling; to find out the specifics of humor in the Ukrainian political discourse. The material of the research was the statements, speeches and posts in the social networks of famous Ukrainian politicians (L. Kravchuk, P. Poroshenko, V. Zelensky, Yu. Tymoshenko, U. Suprun etc.). Political humor is a communicative strategy in communicating politicians with one another and with ordinary citizens, and is a form of protection and distance from political problems. The appearance of a comic effect in communicative interaction depends on the intensity of the speaker and the extralinguistic factors. The main expressions of political humor are jokes, jokes and trolling. Trolling is featured in social media posts and aimed at ridiculing political opponents. The specificity of the Ukrainian political humor in the linguopragmatic aspect is provocative, irony and personal addressing of speech.

Thanks to different mass media sources, members of any society are well aware of political developments and events and politicians. Every person has his or her own formed political beliefs and affirmations, interpreters other people's actions during political developments and evaluates events that take place. Political forces, in turn, see a person (a potential elector) as an object of external information influence. This lets them use political communication when competing for the power. In the modern democratic society this competition is carried out via parliamentarian debates, politicians' speeches, examining political parties' programs, political agitation and voting. General audience-oriented political discourse implements its function of political information influence. As the goal of any political party's program (as an independent form of text in the system of political discourse) is to win the elections and come to power, thus the audience influence function is one of the most fundamental and serve as the basis for the text. The text of a program itself is characterized by its persuasive orientation towards the audience, which reveal itself in such methods as convincing, argumentation, manipulation and evaluation. All the political programs pertain to parties which are at the power or which are in opposition. The main characteristic of oppositional programs is the criticism of the power, vice versa, the dominant party's programs confirm the correctness of their policy. All the political programs are multi-authored. The written form of any political program lets put into practice a detailed text analysis. This article presents the analysis of the texts of two leading Spanish political parties (the Spanish socialist worker's party and the people's party of Spain).

Comparative studies are rare in the study of online communication campaigning. The authors chose two cases, Poland and France, to describe the two campaigns for the Parliamentary elections. Content analysis allowed the authors to detect online communication strategies and parties' attempt to reach different audiences. Web-cartography illustrates the parties' network connections. The authors find strong cross-country and resource-based differences for the more interactive and engaging features (Web 2.0), which are not that powerful for explaining audience-targeting strategies. Overall a sales strategy and a focus on marketing dominated over e-representation (exhibiting the parties' political record). In both countries social media platforms are well incorporated into online strategies. Facebook dominates in Poland, Twitter in France. Web cartography gives a counterintuitive picture of the Polish parties' network being much more personalized but also of more ghettoing within the supporting environment.

The article is devoted to the problem of communicative interaction in the “doctor — patient” dyad. The relevance of the study is due to the need to return the humanistic principle to medical practice and to increase the efficiency of communication between medical personnel and patients, both in their native language and in a foreign language. The aim of the study is to identify the means of verbalization of the informing communicative strategy, which the doctor uses during a consultation of cancer patients. The empirical material was authentic consultative conversations in German, recorded in the GAT-2 transcription system. It has been proven that in the material under study, the informative communicative strategy is dominant. Six main tactics of the informing strategy have been identified: the tactics of explanation, the tactics of planning, the tactics of recommending therapy, the tactics of updating the medical history, the tactics of communicating the diagnosis, and the tactics of checking the contact. Special attention is paid to the distinctive features of the structure of the dialogues under consideration and their influence on the sequence of reproduction of the selected tactics. Frequent language means of implementing tactics, as well as the explicit and implicit goals of their use, are systematized. It is concluded that the use of communicative tactics corresponds to the specifics of the patient-centered approach.

Communicative Strategy

The article examines the manifestation of the communicative strategy of protection, which is used as a reaction of the addressee in the case of the interlocutor's choice of conflicting strategies of speech interaction in political talk-shows. An overview of approaches to defining and distinguishing communication strategies is presented and a detailed analysis of defense strategy in interactive political discourse is presented. It is argued that the defensive strategy is related to the communicative behavior of the addressee of a political conflict, who has a weaker position, less convincing to theaudience, but defends his beliefs by opposing the position of the speaker. Under such conditions, the addressee reacts to the aggressive speech behavior of the speaker, but does not agree with him, does not seek to understand, but on the contrary - inflates the conflict and acts as a political opponent. The defense strategy was found to be represented by communicative tactics of justification, evasion of response and counteractionto provocation.

The author convincingly proves that a detailed analysis of the ways of entering the word "gender" helps to better understand the semantics of this concept, to analyze the methods of representation in the space of modern newspaper discourse.

Trade Offs

Wedges and frames, two much-studied strategies of American political combat, are generally thought to be partisan weapons, meant to manipulate voters into making trade-offs that favor the political actor wielding them. My inquiry here explores whether there exists anything comparably schematic to wedges and frames at work in attempts by American politicians not to polarize but to find consensus, not to cater to extremes but moderate them. Despite the seeming paucity of such efforts in American public discourse, there is one such common and as-yet untheorized scheme, which uses the two issue positions involved in wedges to overcome the ill effects of reframing and the two value dimensions involved in reframing to overcome the ill effects of wedges. I elaborate this discursive structure by examining its presence in a number of American political debates, showing how it differs from other contemporary normative-theoretic frameworks for understanding compromise in American politics.
